OSC (Open Sound Control) lets you trigger xRLive presets remotely from a lighting console, media server, or any OSC-capable software — hands-free during a show. Each saved preset exposes an OSC address that loads it instantly when the message arrives.

​
Set the OSC port

The OSC port is configured in Network Setup. Set it to the port used by the console or software that will send the OSC messages, so both ends match.

Preset OSC addresses

Every preset you save has an OSC address built from the visual and preset names:
  • [visualname] — the visual’s name as shown on its card.
  • [presetname] — the preset’s name that you saved.
xRLive normalizes both parts automatically: it removes spaces and converts them to lowercase. This keeps the address predictable and avoids typos. For example, a preset named Blue Sparks on the visual Magic particles becomes:

Triggering a preset

Send an OSC message to the preset’s address from your console or software, and xRLive loads that preset immediately — the same as clicking it in the preset bar.
The preset must already be saved for the visual. Presets are created in the operator dashboard — see Presets.
